Welcome to the ultimate guide for the newly released Loïs Openda SBC in FC 27 Ultimate Team. This special Road to the Knockouts (RTTK) challenge arrives with a modern twist, utilizing a score-based system instead of traditional squad building constraints.
Understanding the Score-Based SBC System
Unlike classic Squad Building Challenges, this release features no squad formations and zero chemistry requirements. Instead, you simply submit any player items directly from your club. Every player item carries a fixed grading score, and your goal is to hit a combined grading score threshold. Certain challenges may impose restrictions, such as requiring players with a minimum OVR rating.

How to Find the Cheapest Way to Complete the SBC
Because this challenge relies entirely on accumulated grading scores rather than specific ratings or chemistry lines, the most cost-effective approach is to dump untradeable fodder or target players offering the lowest price per grading score point. Estimating the market cost involves balancing your club storage with current transfer market prices across different platforms.
